Credit card fraud detection remains a critical challenge for financial institutions, particularly due to extreme class imbalance and the continuously evolving nature of fraudulent behavior. This study investigates two complementary approaches: anomaly detection based on multivariate normal distribution and deep reinforcement learning using a Deep Q-Network. While anomaly detection effectively identifies deviations from normal transaction patterns, its static nature limits adaptability in real-time systems. In contrast, the DQN reinforcement learning model continuously learns from every transaction, autonomously adapting to emerging fraud strategies. Experimental results demonstrate that, although initial performance metrics of the DQN are modest compared to anomaly detection, its capacity for online learning and policy refinement enables long-term improvement and operational scalability. This work highlights reinforcement learning as a highly promising paradigm for dynamic, high-volume fraud detection, capable of evolving with the environment and achieving near-optimal detection rates over time.
Acute poisoning by pesticides in Morocco is an important public health issue, because the use of pesticides has become both massive and anarchic. This is the cause of deaths whose incidence is unfortunately increasing. Unfortunately, these deaths are not always accidental. Pesticides are also used as a means of suicide; according to the WHO, these are means suicide chemicals most used in the world, since, out of the 800 000 suicides recorded per year, more than a third are caused by this type of product. Even more serious, these suicides are currently being observed among children and teenagers. Faced with this alarming figure, and in order to prevent deaths and improve emergency treatment of cases of pesticide poisoning, it becomes important to use the potential of artificial intelligence in the treatment of these admissions. Our approach is essentially based on machine learning algorithms, including decision support software capable of predicting, based on major clinical signs, the most likely pesticide responsible of the intoxication in the triage room. This, before moving on to the confirmation stage based on biological and toxicological investigations, which are often costly and time-consuming
This paper presents a new system for automating the monitoring and estimation of student attention during the course session. The followed approach is based on the analysis of the student's gaze to predict his state of attention. A simple hardware device consisting of a camera and a pc was used in this study. Existing machine learning algorithms were used for the student gaze estimation. The principles of homography were used to ensure the transformation from an image coordinates system to a real-world coordinates system. 5 students took part in this experiment and whose gaze was detected and analyzed during 10 minutes of the class session in order to analyze their states of attention and inattention.
